Curry Chicken and Rice

Description

I found this recipe and it sounded so good, but it served 100! I tweaked to serve 4 and use ingredients we like, and the results were great! I’ve got permission to make again, and I know I will. I love to use bone-in chicken thighs, but boneless breasts or thighs would work very well also.

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup butter
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 stalks celery, chopped
  • 1 (4 ounce) can sliced mushrooms, drained
  • 1 (6 ounce) package long grain and wild rice mix
